Letterman Airs 'Funny' Arnold Bits

[True_Blue]

(AP) In contrast to the "Tonight" show - Arnold Schwarzenegger's unofficial late-night venue - David Letterman is airing material that would make most politicians consider a career change.

Over the past week, Letterman's "Meet the Governor" segment has rolled old footage of the incoming California governor grasping a woman's buttocks, smoking marijuana and grinning goofily dressed in an Indian outfit.

There's no political motivation; Letterman just wants to be funny, said Rob Burnett, executive producer of Letterman's "Late Show."

"For us, it's an easy decision - what is on the mind of the country and can it be made funny?" he said. "Arnold as governor of California satisfies both objectives. As a bonus, it's pretty easy to make funny."
